More than just a dictionary, this guide delves into Cape Verdean Creole, a colloquial language rooted in 15th to 17th-century Portuguese, enriched with idioms and vocabulary from West African languages, and minimal influences from French and English. The book covers essential topics including arrival, first contacts, overnight stays, dining, shopping, leisure activities, emergencies, and travel signs. Each chapter starts with commonly used phrases like greetings and useful questions, followed by a glossary of related words. It provides foundational knowledge on pronunciation and grammar, along with insights into traditions, customs, and interaction with locals. This resource is designed to enhance your ability to communicate effectively and appreciate local gastronomy, particularly its renowned fish dishes. Focusing on the Barlavento dialect, spoken on the islands of Boa Vista, Sal, São Nicolau, São Vicente, and Santo Antão, this guide is an invaluable tool for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Cape Verdean culture.
